I've been lurking for quite a while and thought I post an idea I just had after reading about X-Com. As it might be an interesting idea for Xenonauts. In the original X-Com, the developers apparently were planning to add the "Men in Black" into it. But they were asked to remove it by Micropose, there publisher as apparently they had another game in development dealing with them that never saw the light of day. So I thought it might be interesting to add them to Xenonauts similar to how they were going to use them. Kinda like spies. But with the "events' system Xenonauts has in place, perhaps they could be used in more interesting manner. The M.I.B. could be a special team that you get to selectively dispatch to different regions or have it be an abstract thing that increases with your presence in each region. They help reduce the damage on your performance ratings that the alien attacks have in each region, by helping suppress the news of the attacks, cover it up, etc. Perhaps they could be used generate random missions as well. For example you dispatch them to a region that has been hit hard by attacks that you haven't been able to stop or cover. Due to whatever reason. They could find traitors, hidden alien bases, or perhaps even aliens or their space ships that the regional governments have captured with out you knowing for there own use.
